Well done to Bloomers for reaching two Finals in a row.

He is now provisionally GB no. 9 on 5 March (up from 13) at about WR 389 (up nearly 100 places over 2 weeks) with 99 points to Dan Cox's 98, though Dan can of course re-take him if he wins later today.

Well done Richard! Great 2 weeks

Brilliant, well done Richard

He should move up over 100 places over the next two Mondays and he is now the top ATP singles points scorer among the Brits in 2012 other than Muzz, 2 ahead of Evo. Both Richard and Dan picked up the majority of their points in Zagreb, of course!

The ITF site is crashing when I try to search down a full activity history today but dredging my memory, I'm pretty sure this is Richard's first title overseas since Sint-Katelijne-Waver in 2005 (?)
